let's get married

The happy couple met during their weekly management meetings while running group homes in Whitewater. On their first date- sushi, of course, she was impressed with his conversational skills, though shocked to learn how old he was. He was impressed she read, but surprised by how much she talked. When Nick looked lovingly at her, Lydia would reply, "what?!" "Nothing, just a happy camper," Nick would say. He tolerated her cat. She, his chicken salads. They adventured for nearly 3 years, ate hundreds of "the best meals he's ever made," fell asleep through countless movies. They traveled, became beloved members of each other's families, and discussed the logistics of applesauce fritters. On Feb. 14th, 2018, they were preparing for their Valentine's Day dinner when he kicked her out of the kitchen. When she returned there was a paper tent over her lobster; the inside read "Will you make me the happiest camper?"
